“This capability will initially roll out with our November release to a subset of Xbox gamers and scale to all gamers in supported markets over the coming weeks,”according toXbox Cloud Gaming’s vice president and head of product Catherine Gluckstein.
Apart from the time-saving benefit of hopping into a game you’re unsure about without needing to fully download and install it, cloud-based gaming will be a chance for Xbox One owners to play some otherwise out-of-reach Xbox Series X/S exclusives on their aging console. Right now,The Medium,Recompile, andThe Riftbreakerfall into this category, and the team says thatMicrosoft Flight Simulatorwill allow this “next-gen on last-gen” cloud streaming in early 2022. Other Series X/S-only titles will join the cloud library too.
Seeing is believing with this stuff, so what’s actually streamable? you’re able to skim the list of cloud gamesover here(and that’s also the link to play games directly in your browser).
Even if you’ve hadbad experienceswith playing games via stream before, I still think Xbox Cloud Gaming, in particular, is worth a look nowadays. It would be nice if folks could briefly test it out in their specific tech setup before committing to a Game Pass Ultimate membership. That said, it’s still a beta, and there’s plenty of room for improvement.
Xbox Cloud Gaming isn’t going to be my main way to play games anytime soon, but I can’t understate how useful it can be — with a good connection — for checking out storage-hogging games or titles you’re on the fence about playing. It pairs so well with Game Pass.
Just look for the little cloud icon on the game’s cover art.
